The Gaza government media office confirmed that the Israeli occupation cut off all means of communication for the seventh time during its ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip.

In a press statement, the media office explained that the Israeli occupation is deliberately cutting off and completely disrupting telecoms in the Gaza Strip, during what it described as a "genocidal war against the Palestinian people in the Strip," revealing that "this crime has been continuing for five consecutive days."

In its statements, the office highlighted that severing telecommunication and internet networks poses a significant threat to the lives of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. It emphasized that the interruption of communication means that many martyrs and wounded individuals won't receive timely assistance. Consequently, this disruption is expected to result in a considerable escalation in the number of casualties.

The statement emphasized that the persistent disruption of communications and internet networks is a deliberate and premeditated crime. This tactic by the occupation is seen as an attempt to exacerbate the already dire humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

The government office held the Israeli occupation responsible for the ongoing crimes against 2.4 million people in the Gaza Strip. Additionally, it held the United States and the international community accountable for the occupation's crimes, emphasizing their role in what is perceived as a genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza.

In its media statement, the office urged what it described as "all countries of the free world" to promptly and urgently halt the genocidal war against the Palestinian people. It also called on these nations and international organizations specializing in communication to exert pressure on the occupation, urging the restoration of communication and internet networks in the Gaza Strip to bring an end to this ongoing tragedy.

Concerning the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip, now in its 103rd day, the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Observatory asserted in a relevant context that "the Israeli army is not only starving Palestinians in the northern Gaza Valley, but has also killed dozens of individuals who tried to receive the meager aid that did arrive there, perpetuating the genocide that Israel has been committing against the people of the Gaza Strip since 7 October 2023."
